NEWS 10 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE February 2024 dsm-firmenich, the leading innovator in health, nutrition, and beauty, launched a marine fish module for Sustell™, allowing aquaculture producers of sea bass and sea bream to map the full environmental footprint of their operations. In 2022, dsm-firmenich launched Sustell™ for salmon, with leading salmon producer Bakkafrost as a development cooperation partner. Backed by robust methodology, ISO certification, and data connectivity, Sustell™ is the leading life cycle assessment (LCA) solution for animal protein, according to the company. dsm-firmenich emphasizes that Sustell™ provides the food value chain with a credible, science-based approach to collecting farm data, measuring the environmental footprint, and mapping a course for further development of the animal protein industry. Louise Buttle, Sustell™ lead for Aqua & Global Key Account Manager at dsm-firmenich, stated, “Now marine fish producers of species such as salmonids, seabass, and sea bream can conduct full life cycle assessment at scale, ensuring a strong return on investment and providing a credible and accurate footprint and a great user experience! Extending the Sustell™ platform to include sea bass and sea bream is a demonstration of dsm-firmenich’s commitment and continued innovations to further develop the sustainable production of seafood through aquaculture.” Read more>> dsm-firmenich extends Sustell to cover sea bass and sea bream Business Finland has conditionally approved a recycling and reuse investment grant of more than €12 million for biotech startup Enifer to build its first commercial-scale PEKILO® mycoprotein ingredient factory. The funding comes from the European Union NextGenerationEU recovery instrument. It will support building first-of-its-kind industrial facilities promoting the reuse and recycling of industrial by-products and waste streams, hence aligning with the EU’s circular economy action plan and the Sustainable Growth Programme for Finland. The commercial-scale factory will produce Enifer's unique PEKILO® mycoprotein ingredients, which are made using fungal fermentation. The PEKILO® fermentation process has a long legacy; it was originally developed by Finnish forest industry engineers in the 1970s. As the world’s first commercial mycoprotein production process from 1975 to 1991, it converted forest industry by-products into sustainable feed protein for the domestic market. The new facility will have a production capacity of 3 million kilograms a year of sustainable, locally sourced protein -roughly equivalent to the protein content of meat from 30,000 cows- but with at least 20 times lower carbon emissions and considerably lower water and land use. The factory is currently projected to cost €30 million to build and is expected to be completed by the end of 2025, with production ramp-up occurring in 2026.
